Can my pet infect me with COVID-19?
Although there has been a case of an infected dog in Hong Kong, to date there is no evidence that a dog, cat, or any pet can transmit COVID-19.
COVID-19 is spread mainly through droplets produced by an infected person by coughing, sneezing, or talking.
To protect yourself, wash your hands thoroughly frequently.
WHO is kept abreast of the latest research in this regard and other issues related to COVID-19 and will provide updated information on the conclusions that are drawn.
How long does the virus survive on a surface?
It is not known for how long the virus causing COVID-19 survives on a surface, but it appears to behave like other coronaviruses.
Studies (including available preliminary information on the COVID-19 virus) indicate that coronaviruses can subsist on a surface for a few hours to several days.
The time may vary depending on the conditions (for example, the type of surface, the temperature or the humidity of the environment).
If you think a surface may be infected, clean it with a common disinfectant to kill the virus and thereby protect yourself and others.
Wash your hands with an alcohol-based disinfectant or soap and water.
Avoid touching your eyes, mouth, or nose.
Is it safe to receive a package from an area where COVID-19 cases have been reported?
Yes. The probability of an infected person contaminating commercial items is low, and the risk of contracting the virus that causes COVID-19 from contact with a package that has been handled, transported and exposed to different conditions and temperatures is also low.
